Introduction
Belief that is equivalent to a witness testimony has the power to produce courage, lead to genuine trust, and become actionable in righteousness and holiness. This kind of belief is not just a mental assent or a superficial agreement; it’s a deep-seated conviction that transforms lives.
The Blessing of Faith
Jesus blessed those who would later believe in Him without witnessing His resurrection. This blessing is not limited to those who lived after Jesus’ time; it’s a promise to all who would come to faith in Him, regardless of their circumstances.
Courage Born of Faith
When we believe in Jesus and His resurrection, we receive the courage to live out our faith in a world that often opposes it. This courage is not based on our own strength or abilities, but on the power of God and the promise of His presence with us.
Genuine Trust
Genuine trust in Jesus leads to a deepening relationship with Him and a growing sense of dependence on His grace. As we trust in Jesus, we learn to rely on His strength, wisdom, and guidance, rather than our own.
Actionable in Righteousness and Holiness
When our belief in Jesus produces genuine trust, it becomes actionable in righteousness and holiness. We begin to live out our faith in practical ways, seeking to honor God in all that we do. This can involve standing up for what is right, serving others, and living a life that reflects the character of Jesus.
A Life Transformed
As we walk in faith, our lives are transformed by the power of the resurrection. We experience a new sense of purpose, meaning, and direction, and we become more like Jesus in our thoughts, words, and actions.
Conclusion
Belief that is equivalent to a witness testimony has the power to produce courage, lead to genuine trust, and become actionable in righteousness and holiness. May we cultivate this kind of belief, and may our lives be transformed by the power of the resurrection.
